I’m extremely thankful for the support extended to us. It’s overwhelming. People from all fraternities – sports, cinema, politics, media – have sent their condolences. They’ve said beautiful things about my father, and I’d like to thank them for that. Even he would’ve been most grateful for all those kind words and warmth shown to him,” said Saif.
